The communist chinese government and not the general population is who i worry about. The United States started farming out alot of their industry the entertainment industry to the factories. Deindustrializing the united states for the sake of a democratic china is a very bad idea, when that government has threatened to vaporize two of your biggest cities.
On that I agree... the most dangerous parts of the Chinese mix are the gerontocracy and the gender imbalance... but I still believe that only an "insane" ruling claque would let things spiral out of control. Unfortunately, history has too many examples of exactly that.
I just hope enough Chinese entrepreneurs become millionaires to bribe the Communist party heirachy enough to keep things on an even keel. The final result of a real war would be to make China break up into a bunch of independent states and send the Chinese back to the pre-dynasty days...
